From maternity to newborn, and back again: a client story that spans three years…
Some sessions are beautiful.
Some are meaningful.
Others some remind you exactly why you chose this career.
This one was all three.
Recently, Brittany reached out needing newborn photos for her five-week-old baby. It was last minute, she was in the thick of newborn life, and she just wanted to freeze this season before it slipped away. I did everything I could to squeeze her in — and I’m so glad I did.
After her session, she surprised me with a video testimonial expressing her gratitude — not only for this recent session, but for the maternity and newborn portraits I created for her three years ago as well. Hearing her reflect on our journey together and the experience she’s had over multiple seasons of motherhood was incredibly moving.
Every small detail matters — because these moments don’t come back.
From the way gowns are styled…
How tiny fingers are positioned…
Making sure moms feel comfortable, confident, and seen.
Fast forward three years later, and here she was again — this time with a new little one in her arms, hoping I might be able to fit her in. Even though my schedule was full, I knew how important this season was.
Newborns change in the blink of an eye, and five weeks already feels like a lifetime when you’re living it; so I made room. Together, we created another set of images that will now live beside her first baby’s portraits — a growing story of her motherhood.
Your feedback matters.
It tells me that the experience matters just as much as the images.
In her video message, she spoke about:
• How much she appreciated my attention to detail
• The care I put into both her maternity and newborn sessions
• How supported she felt throughout the process
• How grateful she was that I could squeeze her in when she truly needed it
Testimonials are always meaningful — but hearing from a client who has returned years later, trusted me again, and still felt that same level of care… that’s something special.
Why I share stories like this
Photography isn’t just about photos; it’s about preserving chapters of your life that are gone far too quickly.
Maternity sessions celebrate what your body is creating, newborn sessions honor how small and new everything is, and return sessions; even years later — show how love grows.
Being invited back into a client’s life, years apart, is something I will never take lightly.
Thinking about scheduling a maternity or newborn session?
These days are the story.
Whether you’re planning ahead or finding yourself with a newborn already in your arms — it is never “too ordinary” to document your life. If you’re interested in a maternity or newborn session, I would love the opportunity to create something meaningful for you.
